AFL national draft predictions 2025: How the top 30 could fall and who your club will pick

This month’s AFL draft, held over two nights on November 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most compromised and unpredictable editions on record.

There are academy and father-son players scattered throughout the pointy end and right through the first and second rounds. The evenness of the player pool after the top 10 means things could get wild.

But we did take a stab at where bids might come because they will have a significant impact on what happens with the impacted clubs’ subsequent selections.

We have not factored in potential trades despite a number of pick swaps being discussed, including Carlton sending pick nine to West Coast to slide back a few spots and pick up more points out the back to match a bid on Harry Dean.

That might also guarantee the Eagles won’t bid on Dean.
